Physical Chemistry Workshop, University of Illinois, September 15-18, 1987

NSF化学部的重组将结构化学和热力学计划与化学物理计划合并为一个新的物理化学计划。作为重组的顺序和该领域取得进展的独特机会，吉里·乔纳斯教授(伊利诺伊州)和桑德拉·C·格里尔教授(马里兰州)将组织一次物理化学讲习班。这次研讨会不仅将审查各个分领域，而且还将审查目前的投资，目的是查明可能存在重复或缺少重要工作的领域。由于乔纳斯教授是化学咨询委员会的成员，并期望在该委员会秋季会议上提出初步建议，预计这次研讨会的结果将影响2018财政年度的规划。研讨会的组织也将受益，因为格里尔教授在1985.1986学年是一名轮值教授，因此他了解重组，并对现在已合并到物理化学中的项目有很好的概述。

The reorganization of the NSF Chemistry Division has merged theStructural Chemistry and Thermodynamics Program and the ChemicalPhysics Program into a new Physical Chemistry Program. As aconsequence of the reorganization and the unique opportunitiesfor advances in the field, a workshop on physical chemistry willbe organized by Professors Jiri Jonas (Illinois) and Sandra C.Greer (Maryland). This workshop will not only review the varioussubfields, but will review current investments with the purposeof identifying areas of possible duplication or absence ofimportant work. It is anticipated that the results of this workshop will impactplanning in FY88 as Professor Jonas is a member of the ChemistryAdvisory Committee and expects to make preliminaryrecommendations at the fall meeting of the committee. The workshop organization will also benefit because Professor Greer was a rotator during the 1985.1986 academic year and thus understands the reorganization and has a good overview of the programs that have now been combined into Physical Chemistry.
